What is NGG Live?
NGG Live! is an annual information session, typically held in October, that provides an overview of our program and our admissions process and gives prospective applicants the opportunity to ask questions of our faculty and students. Topics we cover include:
-
What will I get out of a PhD?
-
Am I ready to apply?
-
What makes a successful applicant?
-
What classes should I take as an undergrad?
-
How do I get more research experience?
Who participates in NGG Live?
-
NGG Chair Joshua Gold, who will describe our program's structure and requirements.
-
NGG Co-Chairs of Admissions Judy Grinspan and Heath Schmidt, who will explain our admissions process.
-
